The Lion King

Captain Ichabod Scissorhands at your service.

Somebody went to incredibly great lengths to get all the costume pieces together to cosplay as every Johnny Depp character. At least that difficulty was probably balanced out by the fact that 90% of them are basically the same. *Ducks and covers.*

As anyone who rides the New York City subway system knows, you never know what you're going to get on your daily ride.

We know from Sylvain Sarrailh's previous set of illustrations that, while he's good at reimagining childhood favorites in such a way as to make them completely terrifying (Ariel), a lot of his illustrations are just... pretty damned awesome, full-stop.

What's this? The Pet Collective released a video of adorable kittens reenacting the plot of The Lion King as narrated by equally adorable children? Complete with stuffed animals and crayon drawn set pieces? D'aww, you shouldn't have. We're not going to get any more work done for the rest of the day because of kittens.

Artist Krista Nicholson's bright, exciting illustrations of Disney characters are almost too cute. Nicholson has definitely managed to slip some perfect pairing in there, from Vanellope and Jigglypuff to the adorable, but destructive, pairing of Stitch and Pikachu. Even Magikarp finds a Disney character to swim around with! You can see more of Nicholson's art, featuring more Disney characters and Pokémon, at her Deviantart account.
